BOUDOIR
WELCOME
You're here because something clicked. Maybe it was seeing real women, real bodies, real confidence on camera. Whatever brought you here, you're in the right place.
This isn't about pretty pictures. It's about reclaiming your power, your confidence, the version of yourself that exists when nobody's watching.
You don't need modeling experience. You don't need to look a certain way. You just show up. I'll guide every pose, every angle, every moment. This session is designed around what feels right for you.
Most of my work is shot in natural light with high-end retouching on every image. Timeless portraits that don't feel trendy or dated.
Here's what I've learned after over a decade: age and size have nothing to do with beauty. Every woman who walks through my door is stunning. Full stop.
The confidence shift that happens during a session? That's the real magic.
YOUR SHOOT
Nerves are normal. Expected, even. Take a breath, you're in good hands.
Here's the thing: taking a good photo isn't your job. It's mine. I'll coach you, guide you, and position you for images that'll stop you in your tracks. Your only job is to show up and trust the process.

DAY OF THE SHOOT
All sessions happen at my private home studio in Bellbowrie, Brisbane.
If you've booked hair & makeup, start time is 9:30am.
Arrive with no makeup and clean, dry hair so my makeup artist can work her magic.
You'll be offered one glass of champagne on arrival. Water, tea, coffee, and snacks available throughout.
While you're being pampered for the first hour, I'll go through your outfits and plan your shoot.
If you're doing your own hair & makeup, arrive ready by 10:30am.
The next 1-2 hours, we'll work through your outfits across different sets.
All products will be on display for you to see.
WHY BELLE-VOUS
1. GETTING THE IMAGES YOU ACTUALLY WANT
When you book, you'll get a custom questionnaire to nail down your vision. The more detail, the better. This isn't a cookie-cutter experience, it's designed around you.
2. EDITING ACTUALLY MATTERS
Every image gets professional retouching, done by me, not outsourced or done by AI. I'll clean up temporary distractions (blemishes, bruises, razor bumps) while keeping your skin texture real. Stretch marks, scars, cellulite? Your call. I use dodge and burn techniques, not airbrush tools. You'll recognise yourself because it's actually you.
3. EXPERIENCE
When you walk in, you'll notice immediately how different this feels. I’m aren't here to rush you through. This is your day. The studio is designed for comfort and variety. I've been doing this for over 11 years. This is what I do. And I'm damn good at it.
4. DIGITAL FILES
You get high-resolution digital images with full print rights. No forced product purchases upfront. You see your gallery first, then decide what you want.
5. QUALITY PRODUCTS (WHEN YOU WANT THEM)
Digital files are great. But there's something about seeing yourself printed on your wall, in an album, that hits different. It's a daily reminder: "Yeah, that's me."
WHAT TO WEAR & BRING
4 different outfits with variety (lingerie sets, bodysuits, sheer tops, button-up shirts, jackets, jeans, boy shorts, bridal looks). If you're undecided, bring extras and I'll help you choose on the day. We'll shoot 4 looks plus a white sheet/art nude look.
Bring outfits that FIT. Try them on beforehand. If you feel good, it shows in the photos.
Accessories: thigh highs, body jewelry, heels, whatever completes the look
Personal items with meaning (lipstick, perfume, special bottle of something), bring them for consideration
If you're getting hair & makeup done: arrive with no makeup, clean dry hair (washed night before or morning of), no nail polish or neutral tones only
Hair extensions? Bring them if you want to use them
Body hair: remove anything you don't want visible in photos
White sheet look: nude is best for clean images, but if you're more comfortable in a nude g-string, bring one
Wet look: lots of clients finish with a wet shirt look, bring a white tank or shirt if you're interested

STUDIO LOCATION
The studio is at 4 Fryer Close, Bellbowrie. a private home studio about 20 minutes west of Brisbane CBD.
Parking's on-site. The space is completely private and discreet. You won't run into neighbors or anyone else. When you arrive, you’ll be greeted by the a dedicated makeup & hair station and then the studio space, not someone's spare bedroom with a camera.
STUDIO DESIGN
Half my home is dedicated to this. Over 10 different set options, so we'll find something that feels like you.
It's not a commercial studio with cold fluorescent lights and white walls. It's warm, textured, intimate. Designed so you can breathe, move, and forget there's a camera in the room.
Comfort first. Everything else follows.
INSPIRATION
Scroll through my Instagram, website, to see what resonates.
Find 5-10 images you're drawn to and send them my way. Or create a Pinterest board I can check out. Don't overthink it, I just need to see what you're feeling.
We'll figure out the rest together.

EDITING PROCESS
All images get skin smoothing that handles most stretch marks, blemishes, bruises, and scars (if you want them removed, just let me know).
My editing focuses on color, contrast, and light more than body morphing. I use posing and angles to highlight your best features. I'll smooth lumps and bumps to an extent, but the goal is to show you what's already there.
You are beautiful. These will be the best photos you've ever seen of yourself.
PRIVACY
I'd love to share your images to show other women what's possible. But I completely understand if you prefer to keep them private.
You decide: full discretion for my portfolio, anonymous/faceless images only, or completely private. Just let me know.
You'll indicate your preference on your booking form. If your session is a surprise gift, nothing gets shared until it's been delivered.
READY TO BOOK?
You've read this far. You know what this is. You know what you'll get. The hard part? Just saying yes. Most women who book tell me they wish they'd done it sooner. Don't be one of those women who waits another year. Reply to your email with "I'm ready" and I'll send you available dates and next steps. Or if you still have questions, hit reply. I'll get back to you within 24 hours.
AFTER YOUR SESSION
Your gallery goes live within 72 hours. You'll see a few professionally edited images plus before/afters to show the editing process. The rest are unedited so you can choose what gets edited in your collection.
Gallery stays active for 7 DAYS. All orders must be finalised within 30 days or unordered images get deleted.
Once you place your order, that's final, no swaps or substitutions after.
Product turnaround is about a month depending on what you order (glass blocks and metal art ~2 weeks, albums 2 month). Let me know if you need it by a certain date.
I'll contact you when your order is ready for pickup.
